a very happy new year from Sam and I
So... my new year's was great. I drank some champagne, wore something sparkly, kissed my man at midnight, and overall had a pretty good time. I have the day off, which I am so excited about! But first, let's talk new year's resolutions. What kind of goals does one make after not shopping for a whole year? I'm not going to lie, once I lost my job, a lot of my goals I had set for myself flew out the window... So I will carry those on into the new year. In no particular order, here are my new year's resolutions (crossing fingers that I can keep them).Be nicer. I am going to give this one a shot. I have been reading Gunn's Golden Rules by Tim Gunn and he makes a lot of points in this book about how being nice to people is a good thing. We all know I can be a little snarky, so this year I'm going to try being nice to people. Unless, someone deserves a good talking to, then I will kindly and plainly say why I think they are mean, rude, etc. I of course, still have standards.
Get organized. Really, the last frontiers of organization go to my sewing nook and my dresser. My sewing nook is a disaster. I would like some shelving or bins to hide stuff while I haven't gotten around to it.
A six pack. Yes this sounds silly but, I know I can do it. This past year I have slowly been trying to get back into better shape. This includes eating less pizza, doing more cardio. Even if I just get a light six pack, I think I will be happy.
Go visit. I definitely want to take more trips to visit friends and family this year. I want to go back to New York. I will need to make a trip to Portland. Sam and I want to take a trip to Austin. This probably means I should also start saving some money.
That's all. They are a little ambiguous, yes but I'll make tiny little goals to help me achieve the overall bigger picture. For now, I think I'm going to lay in bed for a little longer.
PS- My dress is vintage, and AWESOME!
Yay for New Years resolutions! I especially like the one where you're going to travel more. woot woot!
ReplyDeleteI myself, have a million resolutions to write down before I forget them! Ah! where did the time go?? I can't believe that it's already the 3rd.
after all that, I am still stuck on "I have the day off." I can't believe you are leaving me hanging today. Lame. Good luck on all of your resolutions. I still plan to be snarky, so you can live vicariously though me. :)
ReplyDeletebeing nice should be on my list, too! thanks for the inspiration, and good luck on your resolutions!
ReplyDeleteI love setting goals for the year! I finished mine today and I need to print them out and keep them in front of me.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a book goal this year? I always set a number of books I want to read.

ah, Portland. Have you ever been? It's amazing. I lived there for a short period and I miss it all the time!
ReplyDeleteok, the being nice, I tried that it didn't work for me, but you can definitely make it work. Getting organized that is a big step for you but I think your up for the challenge. The rest will be easy and a no brainer, especially coming to austin cuz you already have a place to stay.
